Nathan DeLaTorre

Actor & Teaching Artist

What has been a turning point in your life?

A major turning point in life was when I graduated Arizona State University in 2014. I was interviewing for broadcast journalism jobs and was flown out to a small town in Iowa to discuss being hired for a news anchor job. Before signing the contract I asked the news director for a few days to think about the decision since accepting the job meant I would be working in Iowa for the next two years. To my surprise, the very next day after I flew home to Phoenix, I received a phone call and offer from Childsplay to be an actor in one of the upcoming touring school productions. Acting has been my passion since high school and I will always look back at my decision to work with Childsplay as a moment where instead of choosing what some might consider a “safe route”, I chose what I knew would truly make me happy.
